  • FLIR Cameras Catch Shoplifters Red-Handed

    If it’s up to Nexo Group, shoplifters have to fear a new tool in the battle against theft: thermal imaging. Based on thermal images provided by FLIR’s FC-Series R radiometric camera, Nexo Group’s xPredator system identifies suspicious heat patterns on shop visitors that could indicate the presence of hidden, stolen products.

  • Automatic Health Check in Dairy Farms Using FLIR Thermal Imaging Cameras

    Modern farms increasingly resemble factories in their makeup as they become more and more industrialized. The present day farmer spends less time performing menial tasks and more time behind the computer. In these circumstances good automatic monitoring systems are a must to ensure quality and continuity. One company that realizes this is the Linköping, Sweden, based Agricam, which has developed an automatic monitoring system for dairy cows using FLIR thermal imaging cameras.

  • FLIR Thermal Imaging Cameras Help Prevent Fires in Waste Incineration Plants

    The whole cycle for the storage of waste, through sorting and recycling up to the effective conversion to electricity carries a high risk of fire or self-ignition, causing possible hazard for both personnel and the environment. To counter this, the Czech company Workswell has developed a complete thermal imaging solution, called Waste Bunker Monitor, designed for the continuous inspection of solid waste. For this solution, Workswell makes use of thermal imaging cameras from FLIR Systems.

  • Thermal Imaging Cameras for Warehouse Asset Protection

    Worldwide, warehouses are stocked with highly valuable goods. Protecting these goods against theft is of the utmost importance. But theft is not the only danger. An even greater danger is fire. Fire can destruct an entire warehouse within an extremely short timeframe. The value of the destroyed goods during a fire can be tremendous and the cost of a life that is lost during a fire is impossible to calculate. Statistics show high increase in assets loss due to fire although warehouses are equipped with fire alarms and fire fighting systems.

  • Thermal Imaging Cameras for Flare Monitoring

    Thermal imaging cameras are an ideal monitoring tool, since they allow automated remote monitoring on a 24/7 basis in virtually any weather. In addition, thermal imaging cameras avoid many of the technical and cost-related problems associated with other technologies such as ultraviolet (UV) flame detectors, flame ionization spectrometers, thermocouples, and pyrometers.

  • Mill Ladle Refractory Monitoring

    FLIR thermal imaging camera systems are used to monitor ladles in real time and warn of a breakout before it happens, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars by preventing injuries, equipment damage, and production downtime.

  • Inspecting building insulation, HVAC systems and refrigeration units with thermal imaging

    "Building inspectors have been using FLIR thermal imaging cameras for energy audits for decades, but the investment cost prevented many building and installation companies from buying one. In recent years increasingly affordable models have entered the market. One of the building professionals that leaped at the opportunity is Björn Blomgren of the Nybro, Sweden, based service company Hammarstedts. "

  • Structural survey post-earthquake aided by IR Thermography applied to cultural heritage

    The earthquake happened in Abruzzo (Italy) April the 6th, 2009 killed about 300 people. Furthermore, many works of art have been almost destroyed or are in a great danger of collapse. Monuments carrying centuries of history, Important buildings, like Churches, palaces or castles, in the city of Aquila or smaller villages nearby needs to be quickly restored, but first of all checked. Unfortunately, not only human beings, but even precious frescoes must be evaluated in order to be saved. The emergency needs fast, safe, reliable tools.

  • Thermal Imaging Cameras Help Preserve Italy’s Cultural Heritage

    Historical architecture is an important part of Italy's cultural heritage, so good maintenance of these buildings is crucial for their preservation. No-one would want the Cathedral of Gravina in Puglia to deteriorate into a ruin, for instance. That is why the Altamura, Italy, based survey company IR HotSpot investigates historical buildings with a FLIR thermal imaging camera, looking for water damage and other building defects. With the information gained from thermographic surveys using a FLIR thermal imaging camera the preservation of these highlights of Italian culture is ensured.

  • Environmental protection with a FLIR optical gas imaging camera

    Some industrial, pharmaceutical and petrochemical plants emit gases that can harm the environment and impede the health of company employees and inhabitants of the surrounding area. Environmental protection agencies have the responsibility to make sure that these emissions fall within governmental and international policy guidelines.

  • Thermal Imaging Cameras Help to Prevent Fires

    FLIR A-Series incorporated in the PYROsmart®system detects fires at a very early stage. Thermal imaging cameras are being used for a wide variety of applications. Thanks to their ability to measure temperatures in a non-contact mode, they can also easily be used for fire prevention.

  • Thermal Imaging Camera Keeps Fire Risk Under Control In Coal Pile Storage Site

    Coal storage in large coal piles brings with it the risk of spontaneous fires. As always, prevention is better than cure. A thermal imaging camera from FLIR Systems helps to ensure safety at the Nástup Mines Cooperation in Tusimice, Czech Republic. The system provides a cost-effective solution for continuous, remote monitoring of temperatures in the coal piles.
